Teach me Oh wise ones....
Been driving an 08-E93 most recently for 6 years and just picked up a 15-F33.
Just got it yesterday and amazed by the difference in technology. What are some of the most popular items to look into upgrading ASAP? (I run a Collision Center so paint/body mods are already on the radar) Mostly thinking of APPS and technology items first off... |

Get bimmercode. You can code a lot of features like seat belt chime off. You can also disable the nav screen disclaimer. Search for bimmercode. Look into bootmod3 if you are looking for performance gains. Great tune that will give 50hp right off the bat.

You can also code via cable and laptop, bit more involved but once you’ve got over the fear factor quite simple.

Hit the coding subforum and check out the threads there. Most of the stuff I did in easy mode. The more complicated stuff is done in expert mode which is all german so I looked through and read up before I did the coding. |

Lol. She was in the backseat when I left. When I came back she moved to the front and is giving me the “why is there a human in my seat?!” look.

Got my Vgate same day from Amazon Prime. Had to play with this last night. Wife pulls in the garage and just shakes her head at me.
Coded autofold mirrors, M-Perfomance nav welcome and cluster, brighter angel eye'z, and my favorite that I'll probably use once in my life.....Video in motion. Going to look into bootmod3 next! Thanks for your input everyone. Ill get some good shots this weekend. Florida is in convertible season for the next 5-6 months ***Anyone know if you can put photos as a welcome screen or maybe a album of revolving photos like a PC screen saver*** |

BootMod3 is awesome. You'll need an Ethernet to OBD2 cable to flash it from your laptop |

Well seemingly BMW designed it so but half-assed the crap out of it. Nothing there at all. On ignition start ups you should see where the display is outlined.

I thought there were some additional warning lights in that area, but can't recall which ones they might be.
